Grille looks better, as do the headlight and taillights. But now the car has a black eye liner like features below the headlights...why Honda, WWHHHYY?

Also the V6 engine can now only run in 3 and 6 cyclinder mode. The 4 cylinder mode of the VCM appears to have been omitted.

Too much ECO "hunting" and surging would be my guess on the disappearance of the 4cyl mode.
I'm aware of a recall that is seen on the VCM v-6's, where the plugs will foul and in some cases blow the IGNition Coils - it is thought to be caused by a VCM timing/tuning issue.
Urgh. Technology has it's price!
